Mission Orders

Hunt the Quadav in the Palborough Mines and collect the four parts of a Quadav fetich.

Walkthrough

Accept the mission from a gate guard after completing A Geological Survey. The goal of this mission is to collect all four parts of a Quadav fetich. The parts of the fetich are the Fetich Arms, Head, Legs, and Torso. These parts drop from Quadav in several different areas.

Note: It is also possible to buy all four parts from the Auction House or other players.

i raised my THF from level 16-18 just by killing quadavs in the third floor of palborough mines! and when i completed the quest, i didnt have enough rank points to do the next mission so i did it again, raising my WAR from lvl 16-18 doing the same thing! this is a great mission!

The best part of Final Fantasy XI is its rich storyline. It separates this game from other MMORPGs. I chose to give my character a storyline that goes along with the game's storyline. I find that this is a more fun way to play the game. Playing the game just to fight in the endgame and collect elite equipment is very boring and is totally missing the main objective of the game, which is to guide your character through the storyline which is to save the world.

I don't understand why people have so much trouble with this quest. My brother, a level 9 white mage tarutaru, and I, a level 9 warrior, have no problem killing any of the qudavs in the mines. Got the items in an hour on the Bahamut server.

i've got 3 of the 4, just missin legs. i've also died about 3 times. well my post name is also my character name and i'm on titan. if anyone wants to help me out lemme know. oh and i'm lvl 12. oh and the mines are on the eastern section of north gustaberg at the northernmost tip, it's not marked though. karin at h9 in bastok markets has a map. rex in bastok port might have 1 also

you can do this mission almost anytime you arnt on another mission... If you dont have a new mission yet, go and trade a couple of stacks of crystals to the Nearest Signet Person... and check Menu>ststus>profile for your rank points bar... ... Hope that helps... also I personally have done this mission like 5 times lol...Also you could keep doing that mission and ganing rank points and eventually youll get a new mission lol...

I don't know how it is for others, but for me, the only ones that would drop Fetich Parts would be the Amber Quadev's. I'd attack, hack and slash the others all day, and not get a thing, but when I attacked the AMBER QUADEV'S, I got them all...just a little insight...

THe problem I have with this quest is I have completed it, twice now, but every time I talk to the gate guard he saids the only available quest is Fetchism and not the next Lizard Egg quest. I didnt go hunting for the 4 parts as I had the money to buy them from the AH so I did, I traded them to the guard, spoke to the guys at the presidential place and then the girl around the back and then thats pretty much it. My mission menu saids that the mission has been completed but this moron npc Cleades or something like that wont let me go to the next mission...any idea why?

No point buying them as it is pointless as they cost around 1k each on Odin and you only get 1k reward. If you can, just get a high-ish person to help you out, doesn't have to be too high.. probably about 30 would make it a lot faster, but the higher the better

im currently doing this mission and its not to hard, after about one hour as a level 12 WAR i have the body and arms and about 23 water crystals, ventured to the second floor because i didnt know what was up there...raped out of my skull...and once i got deeper in i could only take about 2 Quadavs at a time.

This is my FIRST POST! YAY! Anyways, I did this quest 43598234570294385729043524 years ago, with the help of a high lvl guy. He just ran around linking every quadav from every room he could get to, letting them plink him for 1 or 2 damage and got his TP up to 300. This didn't take very long with that technique, as his WS was an AoE scythe skill that just obliterated everything. I think we got multiples of all the required items in 2 runs like that. Took like 15 minutes.

Its really easy to get these parts at the AH but getting them from the monsters takes some time i did this as a 10 war i was too poor to buy them but my friend LvL 75 RDM who was farming trained about 40 quadavs and i got 3 parts at one time ;)...

I have all the pieces: Head, torso, arms, and legs, but that SOB Cleades won't okay me for the next mission. Everyone says "donate crystals." But I can't donate crystals until I complete this mission, as you must be Rank 2. So what's the dilly?

Also, FYI, the mine has 2 floors... 1st floor has easier Qdauves... lvl 10-15 should handle them fine... 2nd floor... thats a different story. Even at lvl 19, my Thf was having major issues handling Onyx and Greater Qdauaves. You DON"T need to go to the 2nd floor to get the items. You can stay on the first floor and they do drop, takes about 2 RT hours though...

Fetich armor drops like candy off of the Brass, copper and old Quadavs in the back of the mine.

Definitely true. :)

I got a full set while getting my palborough chest key at lvl 25, and I would have ended up with more if they weren't classified as rare.

Then I asked my LS and they told me that they're part of a bastok mission. ><

Unfortunately, you have to be lvl 25 or above to solo these quadavs easily (or higher depending on your job and equipment, and links can be REAL nasty), so this little bit of info won't help most people who are doing this mission unless they have some higher lvl friends to help them. :(

I know a lot of people finish quests by buying the pieces if needed... but this is a mission! The items should be Exclusive as well!! For San d'Orias mission 1-3 i had to kill three orcs.. you cant buy that anywhere...

Im a level ten theif with two peices of leather armor rest bronze and a sapara and i went in pal mines and tried this and i lasted well.... ten minutes or so so i was wondering how much is the parts in the AH in asura and hopefully i got enough gil by tommorow to buy it.

uh yeah be careful on the second floor i was level 17 warrior messing around up there got to the veteran quadav's and they were takeing away half my life so after i kill one i sit down to heal heal a little bit than an onyx quadav attacks me from behind so i run and then next thing i now i got a train of quadev's a very big train, but thats ok im out running them untill i make a wrong turn and have to turn around and cut back past them thats when it got hairy i think i got through like 12 of the 20 quadev train then i bit the dust. So be careful on the second floor.

Yeah, Lv. 12 thief here; I had no trouble taking on 2-3 Quads at a time (I have pretty good equipment, though) solo. I got the parts in under 2 hours, and got a lot of really good drops in the process.

I still haven't figured out how to advance to the next mission, though.

I don't know what classes or equipment you are using, but at level 10 MNK/THF with all bastok equipment, including knuckles, I can go through the rooms one the first floor that contain 6 Quadavs, fight them all at once, and come out of it with 90 HP left. At level 8 THF/MNK with all Leather gear, brass dagger, self bow and 2 stacks of arrows, I can take kill about four quad's before needing to rest. All you need to finish this quest is a little patience. Another thing to remember, throw away all dropped items but shell shields, backplates and the scrolls. If you wait till your inventory is full you can usually return with one or two stacks of water crystals, two or three scrolls of sneak (they sell at stores for 450+), four or five shell shields (they sell at stores for 100+), two or three backplates (they sell at stores for 160+) and two or three scrolls of paralyza (they sell at stores for 50+). It may take a while to get all four fetich parts, but the gil you get from killing the quads and the drops is well worth it. I usually make about 2-3k a trip to the mines, over a course of about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

You are right I was lvl 24 RDM/THF (solo) got all the parts from the brass, copper, and old Quadavs while trying to get my Key for the Airship pass quest. Had no problem killing anything. I got all 4 parts before I got my Key. The 2nd and 3rd levels are the best place to get these drops. Have a high lvl friend help you with it it will take no time at all. If you are on ODIN server and I am in the area send me a tell I will help you out.

I have all four Fetich parts. Yet when I talk to Cleade's he say's I can only be on one mission at a time. I click /trade and tried clicking on him. I would ask a GM but I don't know if the problem is me or the game.

I know this has prob been said before, but i'd like to point out you can buy these in AH. They are under beastmade, and usually sell for 200 each. How I did the quest after i took 1-2 hours and only got 1 peice. (but saw 2 drop)

no, missions are citizenship exclusive, you can do quests, but plot devices like missions can only be accepted by people of that country. Just like a Bastokan can't go to windurst for "The Horutoto Ruins Experiment"
